Congress has indicated a strong interest in ensuring that today's
young people-those ages 16 through 24-attain the education and
employment experience necessary to make the transition to adulthood
as skilled workers and taxpayers. In the wake of the December
2007-June 2009 recession, questions remain about the employment
prospects of youth today and the possible effects on their future
earnings and participation in the labor market. This report
provides current and historical employment and unemployment
information about young people ages 16 through 24. It begins with a
brief background on the December 2007-June 2009 recession and its
lasting effects on youth currently in the labor force. It then
discusses employment and education pathways that young people today
can pursue. Following this section is a description of the labor
market data used in the report. The report goes on to provide data
on labor force participation, employment, and unemployment in the
post-World War II period, with a focus on trends since 2000. This
discussion compares rates based on age, gender, race/ethnicity, and
income, where applicable. The report concludes by exploring the
factors that influence the extent to which youth participate in the
labor force and their prospects for employment. This last section
also discusses the possible consequences of decreasing employment
and increasing unemployment among youth. The Appendix includes
supplemental tables and figures on the youth employment situation.
The findings of the report are discussed in the summary.
